Fred Hiatt on the noble glories of occupation

The Washington Post editorialist says that mere airstrikes are bad because they result in civilian deaths, cause displacement and aid al-Qaida recruitment. Therefore, we should invade and occupy countries instead.

    Nice article as always, but...

    Mr. Greenwald,

    As always, great article.

    Salon.com takes money from the Airforce. The same Airforce that is dropping the bombs your article mentions.

    Do you find it somewhat odd or hypocritical to be continuously writing brilliant articles about the failures of our war mongering leaders, only to then take advertising dollars from the Pentagon?

    Where do you stand? I look forward to a reply.
